Not happy with that phrase, "give money to the poor". Poor people have pride and most of them don't like to be treated as if they're beggars.

Better to say: "never give a man nothing to lose". A man with nothing to lose is a dangerous man, and anyone with at least half a brain would know that. It's not so much about giving them money; it's more about giving people a stake and a safety net. If poverty is such a dire state to sink into that it's something be avoided at all costs, then you won't care what you do, or who you hurt, to avoid it.
